Ooooh, That Smell...Must Be Skunk. February through March is mating season for striped, hog-nosed, and hooded skunks, hence why their signature smell is so common around those times. Used as a defense mechanism, skunks spray each other when competing for a mate or when unreceptive to courting attempts.
Striped From Birth. A skunk mother gives birth to a litter of two to 10 babies, or kits. Each kit weighs between 32 and 35 grams. They are born without coats, but their striped patterns are present in their skin pigmentation. By their eighth day, the kits are able to release musk from their scent glands, at 3 weeks of age, their eyes open. Kits nurse from their mothers until weaning occurs at 8 weeks of age.
